Ride 2015

Hey Goldenvoice, please book the recently reunited band Ride for Coachella 2015, they are one of the best bands of all time. Andy Bell helped get the group back together after Beady Eye broke up, and hey are touring Europe in May and June of next year. Ride would be superb for Coachella 2015, maybe their first American show in about 2 decades. Even younger audience members who weren't around during Ride's heyday will love their performance.

the original post of the poster from creation records came with the accompanying text “Ride Reunion 2015 photo from Primavera this morning” before it was deleted and re-upped without the text. I don't know if that means primavera financed the poster or where the poster was located, but i don't remember anything like that for the postal service announcement. could go either way.

I agree with this. As much as I'd love to see Ride happen at Coachella, I think Goldenvoice wants bands like this playing FYF. I'm fine with it though. I feel like the crowd there will be more into it than Coachella. Slowdive was amazing at FYF this year, so I'm expecting a similar turnout for Ride.

Anything that's not Sahara tent trash is going to have a small crowd it seems like. I wandered over near the Sahara once all weekend and it was a clusterfuck of the douchiest looking people you could ever imagine.

Re: Ride 2015

I read an interview on NME with Andy Bell and Mark Gardener of Ride, they said when they play live, 90% of their material will be off the earlier EP and the first two LPs. That alone should make Goldenvoice book Ride for Coachella 2015, it would be epic and a mind blower. They also may have a few new songs by then.
